Extreme fire severity interacts with seed traits to moderate post‐fire species assemblages

Large-scale extreme severity fires favor larger-seeded species, shifting community composition. Future recurrent extreme fire events could therefore place smaller-seeded species at risk. Seed mass, dormancy class, and other seed traits should be considered when exploring post-fire responses, to better predict impacts on plant species.

Abstract

Large-scale extreme severity fires favor larger-seeded species, shifting community composition. Future recurrent extreme fire events could therefore place smaller-seeded species at risk. Seed mass, dormancy class, and other seed traits should be considered when exploring post-fire responses, to better predict impacts on plant species.
